Is it just a matter of creating a new list with the old name, then replacing the files in that directory with the archived ones? Or will just restprign the directory to /var/lib/mailman/lists suffice? It was not being archived so that is not an issue. Do not create a list. All you need to do is restore /var/lib/mailman/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck. config.pck.last will be recreated the first time the list is accessed. Any config.db* files are pre Mailman 2.1 and should have been removed if there were any. If digest.mbox is not empty it contains messages that weren't sent in a digest and are probably too old to be useful. Likewise pending.pck has info about things waiting user confirmation and request.pck is information about (un)subscription requests and held messages waiting moderator action. Anything there is also probably too old to be useful, but if you do restore request.pck and there are held messages, you also need to restore any /var/lib/mailman/data/heldmsg-LISTNAME* files. In short, just ignore any old stuff and restore only /var/lib/mailman/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net<mailto:m...@msapiro.net>> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
